Benefits of technology

[0011]An aspect of the present invention provides a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag and a method for controlling the same which may amplify receiving and transmitting signals received / transmitted from / to an RFID reader, respectively, thereby enabling to receive / transmit from / to the RFID reader even at a relatively long distance.
[0012]An aspect of the present invention provides an RFID tag and a method for controlling the same which may amplify the receiving signal and the transmitting signal, thereby improving receive sensitivity at the time of transmitting / receiving of signals at a long-distance.
[0013]An aspect of the present invention provides an RFID tag and a method for controlling the same which may convert an operation mode according to presence / absence of a wake-up signal, thereby minimizing power consumption.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the case where the conventional RFID tag is located far apart from the RFID reader (for example, at least 5 miles), a voltage required for driving the EEPROM 103 and the control unit 105 may be disadvantageously difficult to be obtained.
As a result, the conventional RFID tag has a problem in that data is difficult to be transmitted to the RFID reader located at a relatively long distance due to a relatively weak signal strength.

Abstract

Disclosed are a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag and a method for controlling the same which may receive / transmit data from / to an RFID reader even at a relatively long distance. The RFID tag includes a modulation unit for modulating data requested from an RFID reader to generate a first transmission signal including the modulated data, a transmission amplification unit for amplifying the generated first transmission signal to output a second transmission signal, and a transmission antenna unit for transmitting the outputted second transmission signal to the RFID reader.
